Senator Mark Warner to Visit Professor Barger’s Criminal Law and Procedure Classes

Professor Barger and ASL are proud to host Senator Mark Warner via video conference on Thursday, February 27, 2014.  Senator Warner will be giving a presentation on the state of affairs in Washington and then engaging in a question and answer session with students.

 Senator Warner was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2008, and serves on the Senate Banking, Budget, Commerce and Intelligence committees.  Senator Warner has established himself as a national leader in efforts to find bipartisan consensus to create balanced solutions to reduce the federal debt and deficit. He has been a champion for military men and women, their families, and our military veterans. Senator Warner is also a leader in Congress in efforts to promote private-sector innovation and to help our nation's small businesses and start-up companies succeed. 

From 2002 to 2006, Senator Warner served as Governor of Virginia, where he worked in a bipartisan way to turn record budget deficits into a surplus. Governor Warner also focused on improving public education and expanding economic opportunity in every region of the state. He recruited 135,000 new jobs to Virginia during his four-year term. When Governor Warner left office in 2006, Virginia was consistently recognized as the nation’s “best-managed state," the “best state for business” and the state offering the best educational opportunities to its young people.
